@Rog2

Hi from England folks,

I finally got registered here, been a bit of a struggle, but thanks to Jon Battle and the webmaster I'm finally here.

I recently bought a 1928 Essex Hudson Super six 5 seater phaeton, right hand drive, frame number 927269.

The car has been restored and painted burgundy and white, which, whilst not original coloure suit the car very well.

There are a few adjustments and jobs to do, but I'm very  pleased with the car. I look forward to meeting other members, either here or in person (I live in southern Hampshire).

    Hi again Jon,

    I'm sure the effort has deen worthwhile. I've already downloaded the brake adjustment instructions. On my car you have to push the pedal really hard to get even a mediocre braking effect. I'm sure the shoes have been set up incorrectly. If anyone has any advice, I'd be glad of it!

    That looks like an Australian bodied car.  You can email me direct for  the  brake adjustments, but sometimes it is not the adjustment so much as the incorrect linings.  NZgeoffclark@xtra.co.nz   Leave the NZ off the front of the address, that's to fool the automatic spammers

    Rog,
    Geoff's brake adjustment method is the one one that ever worked on my 28 E Coupe. Just follow the steps, they do give a good result.  I'll be over your way Aug & Sept (being Granddad) if you've still not got them right.

    I've sent Rog a spare copy of the WTN as well so hopefully we'll persuade him to join :)

    Thanks for your encouraging comments Essex28. Co-incidentally I'm due to become a Granded for the first time on October 9th. You're welcome to visit.

    Looking forward to the magazine Paul, I don't think I'll need much persuasion!

    Let us know when you're over here Dave and what part(s) of the UK you'll be in. We might be able to arrange a social meet somewhere!
